Tru-Tension | Chain Monkey | Motorcycle Precise Chain Tensioning Tool

Makes chain adjustment less messy, less time consuming and less guess work. Measuring 40mm of chain movement in several parts of a chain was a complete pain. With this you can do it in seconds and your hands can remain reasonably clean. Its a bit expensive for what it is, but I would still recommend buying one, just for the accuracy of the result.

Definitely takes the faff out of setting your chain tension.I know you can do it with a ruler or measuring tape, as long as you have 4 arms... But with this, you only need 2 arms, and it takes a couple of minutes.Set it for your chain, bung it on the chain, adjust chain, take it back off the chain. Job done... Well... Maybe tighten up the bolts you loosened to adjust the chain. That's probably a good idea.

I thought i'd buy this and give it a go, at that price it's not going to break me if it's crap BUT it works well and is very easy to use. It was well worth the money and I would recommend it.Tony

I tried using the Tru-Tension Chain Monkey to set my motorcycle chain tension, but I’m not convinced it actually made the process any easier or more accurate. In the end, I found that traditional methods—which you can easily find on YouTube or in your bike’s service manual—worked just as well, if not better.I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this, even for beginners, as it might create more confusion than clarity. The tool is well-made, but personally, I’ll be sticking to the tried-and-tested manual method in the future.

Perfect for anyone with little or no experience.This tool will give you the confidence that you’ve tensioned your chain correctly.Highly recommend this product

I bought this and then watched few YouTube videos about them and how all them were whinging and couple of the even didn't know have to take the black plastic out first.So i though i did mistake for buying it and have ro send it back.But before i said just lets try it see how it is.After finding the size of my chain and setting it and finishing the adjustment. I measured the chain free play and it was sopt on to what factory saying... so believe me buy it and make chain adjustment much faster. Just remember when you tightening your chain just dont make it too tight. Just when you feel this is tight for chain it enough and that's when you get the perfect free play for the chain

Great item quality good as description

Firstly: I've been riding/maintaining motorcycles for over half a century.Chain adjustments a wee bit of a chore.Secondly: This piece of kit all but eliminates that chore.Thirdly: Best method is not to use the indicated lines to get the correct slack.Instead. Set your slack normally to your preference, then, attach the Monkey.Then, tighten the Monkey and make a note of the position on its scale.Then, in the future, adjust the chain with the Monkey to your own noted mark on the tool.It works well.The idea's a good one and that's why it doesn't cost between five and ten quid.I guess when the patent's up there'll be Chinese ones for $4.99 on AliExpress.In the meantime, if you want to make chain adjusting very, very much easier....buy one nowfrom Amazon.
